Candy Circle Quilt

Hi there, this is Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs and I am so excited to share my first project for Moda Bake Shop! I love the cute Moda candy packs and all of Fig Tree & Co.’s fabric lines so I was thrilled to combine them to make the Candy Circle baby quilt. With just four mini charm packs (or just one charm pack), a focal print fabric, and some background fabric, you can have a cute baby quilt ready to gift.

The quilt contains 4 quilt sections, each section containing 25 blocks in a 5 rows x 5 columns arrangement.Each section contains the following number of blocks:

Arrange the 25 blocks in a 5 by 5 block arrangement as shown below:

Sew blocks together into rows (pressing seams open) and then sew rows together pining at each intersecting seam (pressing seams open).

Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 quilt sections.(Alternatively, you may layout the full 10 x 10 block arrangement for the whole quilt, sew the blocks into rows, then sew the rows together).

Sew the 4 quilt sections together (pressing seams open).

Optional Pieced BackingSelect 22 patchwork squaresCut 2 additional strips 2.5″ x WOF of the background fabricSew the 22 patchwork squares into a row, then sew the 2.5″ x WOF background strips onto either side of the patchwork row.Slice the backing yardage (I made my cut about 2/3 of the way across the fabric) and sew the patchwork section into the background yardage.

Step 4: Finishing the Quilt1)Layer the quilt top, batting, and backing and baste the quilt.2)Quilt as desired. I quilted the focal fabric areas in a straight line lattice, quilted the background areas using a small pebble design, and quilted the patchwork squares with straight line quilting.3)Bind the quilt using 5 strips 2.5” x WOF (for straight, not bias binding). More information on binding can be found here.

I am a chemical engineer/patent agent by day, a quilter at night, and a mom and wife all the time. I love my family and being a mom to my 7 year old son and 4 year old daughter. I made my first quilt when my daughter was an infant and have not looked back since!
